Kor Qel Droma Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It's just too bad the Oil lost Grebs ( I can't spell his last name fully) last night. He and the recently shelved Visnovsky were quite the tandem. Now it looks like Steve Staois will be getting second pairing minutes, which is never a good thing. Jaguars4ever is still alive.

taks Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Brett Hull and Brenden Shanahan (Craig Janney just took advantage of a good situation) made one of the best lines ever in hockey. actually, the better team-up was brett hull and adam oates. the blues blew it with his contract, however, and ended up trading oates to boston in '92. the blues got shanahan in a bad deal when an arbitrator gave the devils scott stevens as compensation for shanahan, which was, to put it mildly, a joke. stevens, btw, never finished a season with a minus rating. taks comrade taks... just because.

taks Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) i should add, shanahan is still playing, most recently for his original team, the NJ devils. he was/is a great, and st. louis did appreciate him as well, we just wanted hull 'n oates together again (with stevens, too)! taks Edited February 12, 2009 by taks comrade taks... just because.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wasn't there some sort of draft pick tampering in that case? I'm fuzzy on the details. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Shanahan hasn't been great for a few eyars now. He's basically hanging on based on reputation, and the fact he still at least has a decent slap shot. He was a HUGE joke in the playoffs last season. HUGE. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Shanahan's statistics for the last three seasons: 05-06 - 40 goals, 41 assists, 81 points 06-07 - 29 goals, 33 assists, 62 points 07-08 - 23 goals, 23 assists, 46 points Currently he has 5 points in 10 games. Obviously there is a decline there, but 23 goals is still a very solid contribution. Since Volo brought up the playoffs, he had 12 points in 20 games over the last two years for the Rangers. I really don't understand the Shanahan hate you seem to have, he's a future Hall of Famer and considering the life span of most Power Forwards in the NHL, it's pretty amazing he's still playing and lighting the lamp. Obviously his physical game is less prevalent, but that is the price of aging. I was a little young and not quite a hockey fan when Oates was in St. Louis, so I've always though of him as a Bruin first. Stevens for Shanny is a funny trade-off. Would Stevens have had the same career that he had for the Devils if he stayed in St. Louis? On the other hand, St. Louis seems to be a super talented D-man factory! Was Macinnis a St. Louis product?

No, MacInnis started out in Calgary and was already a star when he went to the Blues. ^Yes, that is a good observation, Checkpoint. /God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sheldon Souray makes (rightfully so) comments about fans being disrespectful and how he doesn't like to see his friends get verbally attacked when walking from the dressing room to the ice and back. Good on him for having the cajones to actually speak his mind. Respect++ I won't dispute that many fans here in Edmonton are stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ah, Calgary, I had forgotten that. They did retire his jersey. So the Blues have had Stevens, Macinnis, and Pronger (not at the same time of course.) That's a pretty nice group. Too bad Barrett Jackman seems to have fallen off the map. I was a big Jeff Brown fan in one of my NHL hockey games too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Since the Leafs has been playing rather well recently and they're facing a pretty beatdown Penguins team, I thought it might be nice to watch tonight's game. 1:23 later Malkin scored his first of the night.

Deraldin Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Lol, maybe they shouldn't have fired him. They lost to the Islanders today. Cory Clouston didn't win his first game as head coach for Ottawa, nor did they win his second, but they've put together 4 straight wins so far since then. 1st game with a new coach doesn't really mean that much.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sheldon Souray makes our power play predictable, yet effective. If I ever get an Oiler jersey, his name and number will be on it. And Brad Richards breaks his wrist tonight. I have him in both my hockey pool entries this year. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Deraldin Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 As happy as I am that Ottawa is going on this winning streak, the fact remains that my preferred team, Montreal, is stuck in a horrible run lately. Something like 4 wins in their last 14 games. I'm happy to see Ottawa doing well, but I'd still rather Montreal wasn't sucking so much right now. Also: Schneider? Really? That's who Gainey goes out and picks up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deraldin Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Damn. Ottawa lost in OT tonight 3-2 against Colorado only 20 seconds in.

Hurlshort Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I saw an Edmonton player cover up the puck in the crease, but I think he ref had already blown his whistle. Fun game though.
